The FY 2025 President’s Budget request for modernization in the RDT&E and Procurement titles
is comprised of 2,313 Program, Project, and Activity (PPA) budget line items, of which 1,122 arein RDT&E and 1,191 are in Procurement. Within these budget lines, there are 69 active Major
Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs); 14 with the Army, 36 with the Navy, and 18 with the Air
Force. The Missile Defense programs are the only MDAP still under the Office of the Secretary of
Defense. Of the $310.7 billion in Investment funding, MDAPs accounts for $96.1 billion, or
approximately 31 percent of the total funding.
Not all MDAPs (Acquisition Category (ACAT) I) are represented in this book because they fall
below reporting criteria*. Furthermore, while non-MDAP individual programs are smaller in dollar
value when compared to MDAPs, these ACAT II and ACAT III programs account for the majority
of defense weapon expenditures.
* An MDAP is an acquisition program that is designated by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition andSustainment (USD (A&S); or is estimated to require an eventual total expenditure for Research, Development, Test, andEvaluation (RDT&E), including all planned increments, of more than $480 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 constantdollars or, for Procurement, including all planned increments, of more than $2.79 billion in FY 2014 constant dollars.

Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence(C4I) Systems
The Department is well underway in transforming and developing new concepts for the conductof future joint military operations to achieve full spectrum dominance. This overarching goal todefeat any adversary or control any situation across the full range of military operations is achieved
through a broad array of capabilities enabled by an interconnected network of sensors, shooters,command, control, and intelligence. Net-centricity transformed the way information is managed
to accelerate decision making, improve joint warfighting, and create intelligence advantages. U.S.
forces are heavily-networked and require reliable, secure, and trusted access to information anddepend on network-based interconnectivity for increased operational effectiveness. By enhancing
information sharing, dispersed forces are able to communicate, maneuver, share a common userdefined operating picture, and successfully complete assigned missions more efficiently. This
portfolio also encompasses the development of technologies like gateways, waveforms, network
management, and information assurance.
The FY 2025 budget request displayed in this portfolio is $6.6 billion higher than what was
displayed in the FY 2024 President’s Budget request. The 45 percent increase is attributable to
the recategorization of programs from the Mission Support category into C4I and funding changes
for Combined Joint All-Domain Command (CJADC2), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Agile Softwaredevelopment, 5G communications and net-centricity service-based architecture.

Cyberspace Activities
The United States is one of the mosttechnologically advanced nations in theworld, with a vast network ofinterconnected systems that support
critical infrastructure and services.
However, this reliance on technology also
makes the country vulnerable tocyberspace threats.
One of the main sources of cyber threats
comes from foreign state actors, who
conduct cyber operations to advance theirmilitary capabilities and global influence.
These operations can range from espionage
and data theft to cyber-attacks that disrupt critical infrastructure or target government agencies.
In addition to foreign state actors, there is a growing threat from non-state entities, such as criminalorganizations and hackers. These groups are becoming more sophisticated in their methods andtechniques, making it difficult to defend against cyber-attacks.
The FY 2025 cyberspace activities (CA) budget, aligned with the 2022 Department of Defense(DoD) National Defense Strategy (NDS), reaffirms the Department’s three enduring cyberspace
missions: defend the DoD Information Network, defend the nation, and prepare to fight and win
the nation’s wars.
Mission: Improve the cyber resiliency of the Joint Force and its supporting elements to ensure
they can execute their missions successfully in contested cyberspace environments; strengthen the
Joint Force by conducting cyberspace operations that enhance U.S. military advantages, harden
weapon systems through continuous cyber assessments and mitigation; defend U.S. criticalinfrastructure from malicious cyber activity; secure DoD information and systems, including DoD
information on non-DoD owned networks, against malicious cyber activity; and expand DoD
cyber cooperation with interagency, industry, and international partners.
FY 2025 Program: Funds three focus areas: advancing cybersecurity (CS), cyberspace operations(CO), and cyber research and development (R&D) activities. This aligns to the DoD's commitment
to strengthening its cyber capabilities and protecting its critical networks and systems fromevolving threats.

CJADC2 Programs
The Department of Defense (DOD) continues
to improve its Command and Control (C2)structure in a rapidly evolving battlespace.
The joint all-domain approach, initiated in
Fiscal Year (FY) 2020, is the warfighting
capability necessary to keep pace with thevolume and complexity of data in modern
warfare and to deter, deny, and, if necessary,defeat adversarial advancement.
Combined Joint All Domain Command andControl (CJADC2) is C2 for 21st-century
warfighting that supports the Joint
Warfighting function enabled by technology, not a single system we buy as product or program ofrecord. It is an ongoing effort to transform our C2 processes and strengthen the integration of data,
analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced networks, into modified Joint workflows thatenable Joint command and control across all domains – land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace.
In the FY 2025 CJADC2 budget, each Military Department contributes to CJADC2; FY 2025
initiatives include the Army’s Project Convergence, the Navy’s Project Overmatch, and the Air
Force’s Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS). The Chief Digital and Artificial
Intelligence Office (CDAO) contributes with four distinct efforts: Joint Operating System (JOS),
Data Integration Layer (DIL), Global Information Dominance Experimentation (GIDE), andMission Command Applications (MCAs).
Mission: CJADC2 builds on the Air, Land Battle (Air Land Battle) framework of the Cold War,with a modern version extends the integration framework from two domains (air and land) to all
domains including sea, space and cyber. It accelerates the command-and-control function to acontinuous real-time decision and feedback loop. The JADC2 framework intends to provide thesensors, data, networks, and automated decision aids (AI) to make real-time command and control(C2) possible.
FY 2025 Program: Provides $1.4 billion to continue development of the CJADC2 architecture.

M-1 Abrams Tank Modification/Upgrades
The M1A2 Abrams is the Army’s main battle
tank, which first entered service in 1980. Since
ending production in 1994, the Army has
modernized the Abrams through System
Enhancement Package (SEP) programs andEngineering Change Proposals (ECPs) toimprove survivability, lethality, sustainability,
and supportability. Current modifications to theM1 Abrams SEP version 3 (SEPv3) include an
updated Armor suite; Ammunition Data Link;
Commander’s Remote Operated Weapon
Station - Low Profile (CROWS-LP), Under
Armor Auxiliary Power Unit (APU); Electronics Upgrades; Power Train Improvements/
Integration Optimization; and Active Protection System (APS) upgrades.
Mission: Dominate adversaries through lethal firepower, unparalleled survivability, andaudacious maneuver.
FY 2025 Program: Continues M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 tank production with procurement of 30
SEPv3 tank upgrades; includes technology maturation testing for incorporation of MeteorologicalSensor, Laser Warning Receiver, and Thermal Management System into the M1A2 SEPv3. In
May 2023, Army Senior Leaders (ASLs) approved a new, more comprehensive ECP called theAbrams M1E3, which resulted in a strategic shift to the Abrams Main Battle Tank (MBT)
modernization approach. This change in strategy means the Army will not pursue the SEPv4 but
will roll-in various SEPv4 technologies into the Abrams M1E3. The Abrams M1E3 ECP will
harness new and developing technologies, which increase research and development funding, toproduce a lighter tank that is more operationally/tactically mobile, and survivable.

Ground-based Midcourse Defense
The Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) element is a Missile Defense
Agency program and a key component of the Missile Defense System,
providing Combatant Commanders with the capability to engage missiles in
the midcourse phase of flight. This phase, compared to boost or terminal,
allows significant time for sensor viewing from multiple platforms andprovides multiple engagement opportunities for hit-to-kill interceptors. The
Ground Based Interceptor (GBI) is made up of a three-stage, solid fuelbooster, and an exoatmospheric kill vehicle. When launched, the multistage, solid fuel booster missile carries the kill vehicle toward the target’s
predicted location in space. Once released from the booster, the kill vehicle
uses data received in-flight from ground-based radars and its own on-board
sensors to defeat the incoming missile by ramming the warhead with aclosing speed of approximately 15,000 miles per hour. Interceptors are
currently emplaced at Fort Greely, Alaska and Vandenberg Air Force Base,
California. The GMD fire control centers are established in Colorado andAlaska. Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) acquisition covers thedevelopment, integration and testing of an All Up Round boost vehicle/ killvehicle system capable of surviving both the natural and hostileenvironments while countering the evolving threats to the Homeland.
Mission: Provides the Combatant Commanders with capability to defend the United States,
including Hawaii and Alaska, against long-range ballistic missiles in the midcourse phase of flight.
FY 2025 Program: Strengthens Homeland Missile Defense. Continues to develop a Next
Generation Interceptor. Continues the design and development activities for two competitive
interceptor development contracts. Next Generation Interceptor funding provides for the initialrequirements analysis, design, development, prototyping, integration and relevant environment
testing to mature the booster, payload, sensor, and design-specific critical technologies andtechnology elements. Upgrades and consolidates ground testing infrastructure and facilities.
Upgrades and replaces ground system infrastructure fire control/kill vehicle software to improve
the reliability and cybersecurity resiliency of the GMD weapon system. Funds Ground, Cyber andFlight testing to support the Integrated Master Test Plan.

PAC-3/Missile Segment Enhancement
The Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) is a
performance improvement to the existing Phased
Array Tracking Radar to Intercept of Target(PATRIOT) Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3)
missile. The MSE’s improved capability is achieved
through a higher performance solid rocket motor,
modified lethality enhancer, more responsive control
surfaces, upgraded guidance software, andinsensitive munitions improvements.
The PAC-3 MSE employs kinetic energy to destroy
targets through a hit-to-kill capability and provides
the range, accuracy, and lethality to effectively
intercept and destroy tactical ballistic missiles, airbreathing threats, cruise missiles, and unmanned
aerial systems. This missile engages maneuvering and advanced threats earlier, expanding
operational battlespace performance against complex threats. These improvements result in a moreagile, lethal interceptor missile with enhanced Insensitive Munitions compliance. The PAC-3
MSE is the latest generation interceptor fired from the PATRIOT system.
Mission: Provide the Combatant Commanders with a hit-to-kill, surface-to-air missile that canintercept tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and air-breathing threats that have chemical,
biological, radiological, nuclear, and conventional high explosive warheads. The MSE extends
the PAC-3 range, filling a critical performance gap, and affords greater protection for deployed
U.S. and allied forces.

Missiles and Munitions
Munitions is a general term for ammunition and missiles. Ammunition consists of bombs,
grenades, rockets, mines, projectiles, and other similar devices. There are conventional andnuclear missiles used for both tactical and strategic purposes. Many munitions are precisionguided, enhancing the attack of a broader target set, with limited low-collateral damage. Some
programs include non-explosive articles that enhance the performance of other munitions. For
example, the Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) adds guidance capability when attached to a
gravity bomb, making it a “smart” precision-guided bomb.
In FY 2025, the Department focused on critical high performance, standoff, and precision strikeweapons to deliver munitions with greater penetration power. Improvements to these weapons
increase range and precision effects in contested environments against high-value land attack
targets. This requires munitions with farther standoff, multi-mode seekers, robust guidancesystems, and less time for target selection. The Department has made investments to expand
production capacity, procure munitions at favorable economic rates, and strengthen the industrialbase. Precision guided munitions are manufactured on fully utilized production lines, so pricing
economies are secured at economically feasible rates. The Department is increasing investmentsin the next generation nuclear cruise missile, the Long Range Stand-off weapon as well as theGround Based Strategic Deterrent ballistic missile system.
The munition portfolio continues the seven Multiyear Procurement (MYP) programs of which fourare part of the Large Lot Procurement (LLP) pilot MYP strategy, which aims to maximize weapon
production efficiency with a procurement Buy-to-Budget approach.

Chemical Demilitarization
The Chemical Demilitarization Program (CDP) is composed of
two Major Defense Acquisition Programs, which are theAssembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives (ACWA) Program
and the U.S. Army Chemical Materials Activity. The goal ofboth programs is to destroy a variety of United States chemical
agents and weapons, including the destruction of former
chemical weapon production facilities. The CDP is responsible
for the elimination of the existing U.S. chemical weapons
stockpiles in compliance with the obligations of Chemical
Weapons Convention, which entered into force in 1997, including meeting the commitment
destruction deadline of September 30, 2023; but not later than the congressionally mandated
deadline of December 31, 2023, while ensuring the safety and security of the workers, the public,
and the environment. On July 7, 2023, complete destruction of the declared U.S. chemical
weapons stockpile was achieved, and the CDP continues with the closure phase of the two ACWA
program sites. The Chemical Agents and Munitions Destruction, Defense (CAMD,D)
appropriation funds the CDP mission. The funding for the Recovered Chemical Warfare Material(RCWM) Program Support Functions level of effort mission in support of the RCWM Program
has been realigned from the CAMD,D appropriation account to the Office of the Under Secretaryof Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)), for the management and oversight ofthe enduring RCWM Program Support Functions, in order to maintain these capabilities once thedestruction of the U.S. chemical weapons stockpile, through the ACWA program mission, iscompleted.
Mission: There are two mission areas funded by the CAMD,D appropriation:• Decontaminate and decommission the ACWA program sites (Colorado and Kentucky)
and continue secondary waste disposal from the Kentucky site.
• Support the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP)
emergency response capabilities for communities surrounding chemical weapons
stockpile storage sites and begin CSEPP close-out activities following completion of

Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System

The Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System(GMLRS) is a family of surface-to-surface artillery
rockets which are fired from the M142 High
Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) andthe M270A1/A2 Multiple Launch Rocket System(MLRS) launchers. They provide a responsive, allweather, rapidly deployable precision strikecapability. The GMLRS guidance set combines an
US Army Photo
Inertial Measurement Unit with a Global
Positioning System receiver to provide a high level of accuracy to maximize effects against avariety of targets. Production of the first variant, the M30 GMLRS Dual Purpose Improved
Conventional Munition (DPICM) with a cluster munition (CM) warhead, was terminated in
response to the June 2008 Department of Defense (DoD) Policy on CM and Unintended Harm to
Civilians. The GMLRS program now produces two other warhead variants with a range of 1570+ kilometers. The M31A2 GMLRS Unitary can precisely engage point targets utilizing a single
200-pound, low collateral damage, high-explosive warhead. The M30A2 GMLRS Alternative
Warhead (AW) is a non-cluster munition used to engage area and imprecisely located targets. All
Unitary and AW models in inventory and in production comply with the requirements outlined in
the November 2017 update to DoD Policy on CM. The latest rocket models are configured with
the Insensitive Munitions Propulsion System (IMPS) that improves Soldier safety and launcher
survivability. The Army is currently executing an Extended Range (ER) GMLRS modification to
double the current maximum range and an Enhanced AW (EAW) warhead modification to provide
increased lethality against light/medium anti-armor capability.
Mission: Complements cannon artillery fires by suppressing, neutralizing, or destroying enemy
indirect fire support, air defense capabilities, and other light materiel/personnel targets.
FY 2025 Program: Funds the second year of a Multiyear Procurement (MYP) contract.
Continues production of current rocket variants and development/qualification of modifications toextend the maximum range and enhance warhead effectiveness.

LGM-35A Sentinel

The LGM-35A Sentinel, formerly known as the Ground Based Strategic
Deterrent program is the Air Force effort to replace the aging LGM-30
Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) weapon system. The
Minuteman III missile fleet was fielded in the 1970s with an initial 10-year
service life while its command and control (C&C) as well as launch systems dateback to the 1960s. Sentinel will modernize or replace Minuteman III flight,
C&C, and launch systems, including missile silos, control centers and otherground infrastructures. The new Sentinel weapon system will meet existing user
requirements, while having the adaptability and flexibility to address changing
technology and threat environments through 2075. As a critical part of thenuclear triad, Sentinel will continue sustaining strategic stability, while hedging
against vulnerabilities in other portions of the triad. Should deterrence fail,Sentinel will decisively defeat adversary targets while guaranteeing retaliatory
capabilities as authorized and directed by the President. The program entered
the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase in September
2020. Deployment is projected to begin in the late 2020s.
Mission: Provides land-based strategic nuclear deterrence, assurance, andstability by delivering a responsive and resilient capability. That assures allies
do not need to expand their own capability, dissuades proliferation, and deters
adversaries.
FY 2025 Program: Funds activities in support of EMD to include: advancing the test series forboth Development Test & Evaluation and Operational Test & Evaluation across the air vehicle,
launch facility, launch center, and all other test support assets. The proposed budget encompasses
the completion of sub-system Critical Design Reviews (CDR), leading up to the Weapon System
CDR. Additionally, it involves initiating utility corridor trenching for the Operational Weapon
System Article (OWSA) and commencing the associated conversion of first two (2) Launch
Facilities and two (2) Launch Centers. The FY 2025 budget also supports advance procurement

Shipbuilding and Maritime Systems
A central principle to the United States Maritime Strategy is forward presence, which promotes
conflict deterrence by ensuring forces are in a position to expeditiously respond to conflict.
Therefore, sea services must procure, build, and maintain maritime systems in accordance withmission needs. The funding in this category finances developmental efforts, equipment
procurements, and construction of ships that will allow the U.S. Navy to maintain maritime
dominance and superiority well into the 21st century.
The Department is requesting $4.0 billion for the Submarine Industrial Base to increase production
capacity, to improve Virginia Class submarine production, while sustaining the Columbia Class
submarine annual rate of production.
The FY 2025 Shipbuilding Portfolio includes funding for the construction and service life
extension of 12 vessels and procurement of two used sealift vessels. Six battle force fleet ships
will begin construction: One SSN 774 Virginia class nuclear attack submarine, equipped with the
Virginia Payload Module; two DDG 51 Arleigh Burke class Flight III destroyers; one FFG
Constellation class Frigate; one LPD-17 San Antonio class Amphibious ship; and one Medium

Space Based and Related Systems
Space assets support deployed U.S. forces by providing communications services, navigation
capabilities, and information collected by remote sensors such as weather satellites and intelligencecollection systems. Space forces contribute to the overall effectiveness of U.S. military forces byacting as a force multiplier that enhances combat power. This investment addresses growing
threats, complicating an adversary’s ability to counter U.S. space superiority, while enhancing the
Department’s ability to identify, characterize, and attribute all threatening actions in space. The
capability to control space contributes to achieving information superiority and battle spacedominance. Procurement of launch vehicles and launch services are typically funded 2 years prior
to launch. Under existing budget policy, the first two satellites of a new system are financed with
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding and the remainder of follow-on
satellites are fully funded with Procurement funding.
The FY 2025 budget highlights include funding for development of new Resilient Missile
Warning/Missile Tracking architectures, along with Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared(NG OPIR) space and associated ground architectures; continues funding for the Evolved Strategic

Earth Orbit (LEO), and up to nine Medium Earth Orbit(MEO) satellites. These systems will rapidly deliver
strategically survivable missile warning capabilities, which detect advances made in adversarial
missile technology and addresses counter-space systems with added resiliency features. Resilient
MW/MT offers coverage of all phases of missile warning and tracking of advanced missile threats,
including hypersonic missile systems.
• SBIRS HEO payloads 01-04 and GEO space vehicles (SV) 01-06 are on orbit and operationallyaccepted; SV 06 launched 4 Aug 2022 and was operationally accepted on March 2023.
• Next-Gen OPIR will launch four satellites: Two GEO with target launch dates of 2025 and2027; and two Polar free-flyer satellites in HEO with target dates of 2028 and 2030.
• Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution (FORGE) program delivers a cyber-resilient,
government owned ground system that will supports SBIRS,Next-Gen OPIR and Resilient
MW/MT.
• SBIRS Survivable Endurable Evolution (S2E2) upgrades current mobile ground systems to
SBIRS GEO capability to meet survivable, endurable missile warning requirements.
• Resilient MW/MT develops proliferated constellations to provide additional coverage for allphases of missile warning, missile tracking, and fire control capability.
Mission: Provides warning and tracking of strategic missile attack on the United States, its
deployed forces, and its allies. Supports missile defense, battlespace awareness, and technicalintelligence.
